[fixed]Poor DSL Internet Performance
Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2009 11:05 pm
Hi,
I have AT&T DSL (6mbps), and using their Wireless Router/Gateway Combo (2wire 2701HG-B). So when I plug in the Ooma Hub to the Ooma splitter to the wall, my DSL connection is drastically slow. For example, pinging Google when not connected is 13ms, and having it connect ranges from 200ms to 1000ms.
The layout that causes the slow internet is...
WALL ---> Ooma Splitter ---> DSL Filter ---> 2WIRE ---(modem)> Ooma Hub
......................^---------------------------------------------------(wall)^
But when I plug it like...
WALL ---> Ooma Splitter ---> DSL Filter ---> 2WIRE ---(modem)> Ooma Hub
.......................................^----------------------------------(wall)^
...everything works, but of course the Ooma Scout does not work.
But if I remove the DSL Filter, both Ooma Hub and my 2wire gateway fails to connect to their respective services. In other words, both devices are data colliding with each other.
So my question is...is there any solution? I know that the Ooma Hub and Scout both communicate on HPNA, but so does AT&T and 2wire if I am not mistaken. Is there away to alter their frequency/channels? Or is their any other layout that wouldn't make my internet slow and still have the scout work?
Thanks in advance!
